BBC To Ditch "Tomorrow's World"

Posted by Hemos on Saturday January 4, 2003 @04:44PM from the replacing-the-past-with-tomorrow dept.

Pipsicola writes "The BBC news site reports their decision to ditch the Popular science show, Tomorrows World , after 30 years. It may not have had the most bleeding edge content (we often dubbed it 'Yesterdays World' ...), but it was one of the few programmes which fired the imagination of young British nerds. Several generations of Britain's scientists and technologists grew up watching TM. Lets hope the BBC fulfills its promise to replace it with more science-based shows using a different format. Which formats have worked in other countries I wonder?"

The best one was on April 1st one year where they asked you to vote for something by touching your television screen.

I touched Phillipa.

Well the new chick is much hotter.

And besides, its hillarious watching her interview the male researchers and seeng their responses vary from just gazing at her to stuttering to going completely gaga.
